Orbit Slingshot

Orbital Relay

A high-skill beacon runner with a readable release guide, pulsing capture rings, packet bonuses, and one clean catch that can turn panic into a giant chain.

One-Button Skill Slip Window Chain Chase

Core Loop

Read the dotted release line, cut the tether, and catch the next relay before the mines do.

Orbital Relay rewards nerve more than spam. The best runs come from waiting half a beat longer, using the capture ring as your landing target, then spending Slip Window on the release that should not work.

Pressure

The field gets hotter every relay

Packets are tempting, but the mines and moving targets turn greedy launches into instant disasters.

Recovery Tech

Slip Window + Phase Shell

Bank enough packets to slow the field, then let one saved shell keep a bad bounce from ending the whole climb.

Pilot Brief

Time the release, read the drift, and trust the clean catch more than the flashy one.

Challenge: Keep the chain alive long enough to arm Slip Window, then turn the slowed field into a burst of back-to-back beacon captures.

Quick Start

Tap, click, or press Space when the dotted release line points toward the next beacon.
Touch the pulsing blue capture ring to lock the next relay and keep the chain alive.
Collect drifting data packets to build credits and charge Slip Window.

Field Hazards

Red mines drift harder as the run grows hotter. One clean shell save is precious, so do not waste it on lazy angles.
Slipstream pays more, but it makes the target drift faster and shrinks your margin for sloppy releases.
Eclipse adds richer rewards and more chaos, which means the packet line itself becomes part of the aim test.

Scoring Read

Short relays keep you alive, but the addictive runs come from threading the packet line on the way to the next beacon and stacking the chain multiplier without burning Slip too early.

Pro tip: if the release looks merely "fine," wait. Orbital Relay usually pays the extra half-beat.
